All, 


I've completed the Executive Summaries for each of the applicants. You can find them here 
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dr6xw6sp24fllqx/AAACC4XyuqRnMC7vs3wRmV Ra?dl=Q> . I've asked 
each vendor to share their budgets as Excels so we can compare apples to apples. I will 
add to the Dropbox folder as they come in. Aside from Citiguard which was entirely 
unqualified, the rest are strong applications. Based on experience/specialization, 
customer service and communication to-date, and references, my recommendations for 
interviews are as follows (green=interview): 


CLEAN 

SAFE 

Allied Universal 


x 

Block By Block 

x 


x 

Chrysalis 

x 


CitiGuard 


x 

LA Conservation Corps 
x

I'd like to start scheduling the interviews ASAP, so please let me know by tomorrow if you 
have differing opinions regarding who we should be calling in. I still would like to have 
some time to sit down together and review the interviewees before conducting the 
interviews, but I don't want to wait for that to happen before we start scheduling. Friday 
is wide open for me - could you all make that work? 


Please let me know what you think, and thanks! 


Ellen

FYI I should be done with Executive Summaries by this afternoon. Each summary will include 
my recommendation regarding whether we should interview the company or not. I think we 
should aim to interview 2-3 vendors for each service. I'd like to schedule the interviews 
by Thursday morning, so the sooner we can determine which companies to call in, the 
better. 


Thanks

Ellen: 


I'm in Boston next week for the Fall ULI Conference. My schedule is pretty open the week 
of Oct 15. My potential jury duty starts the week of Oct. 22. I'm not scheduling any 
"new" meetings that week. I'm also not scheduling any "new" meetings the week of Oct. 29 
in the event I get impaneled on Friday and have to carry over into the next week.

Bob, you're in jury duty next week, right? I want to let the vendors know that we'll be 
scheduling interviews the week of the 15th (RFP says week of the 8th)

The RFP did outline the key questions that are important to the BID (see section VII 
[pages 15-18] of the attached document). 


Why don't I go through each proposal and extract into executive summaries for your review. 
I can try to have this by end of day. 


For now, let's put a hold on an in-person meeting. 


Thanks 


Ellen 


PS. Happy anniversary to you and your wife, Del! Congrats

Hi Ellen, 


Unfortunately, I cannot make that time (1 year anniversary and we are going away 
for the weekend). I honestly only made it through 3 proposals since Wednesday, and even 
then my recall was blurred between the 3. 


Couple thoughts: 

Instead of us reading through all the fluff of the 7-8 RFPs why not develop the 
key questions important to the BID and distribute that document back to the companies to 
provide tunneled response (annual cost / estimated headcount hours / etc.) From there we 
can then line them up in a rubric/matrix for comparison. 


Thank you,
